Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1344: Why Cry? I’m Not Dead Yet

The force surged within the body, shattering meridians wherever it passed, getting closer and closer to the Qi Sea!"Crack!" Han Yan clearly heard the sound of the Qi Sea breaking, her face turning deathly pale.

With the Qi Sea broken, for other cultivators, this would likely be the end. But for her, it wasn’t over; the force paused briefly, then headed straight for the Heart Meridian!

Closer, ever closer, Han Yan seemed to feel death beckoning her, and the emotions of her past life’s final moments once again flooded her heart.

"I’m sorry, father, mother, in the end, I can’t share family bliss with you."

"I’m sorry, Han Feng, sister has let you down once again."

"I’m sorry, Lan Feng, can’t grow old with you hand in hand."

"I’m sorry, Huayue, Zirong, Jiang Yuzhe, can’t scale the peak of Sword Dao with you!"

"I’m sorry, Ling Baobao, the Void-breaking Talisman I promised you is not yet refined; you’ll have to rely on yourself to go home."

"I’m sorry, Bu Fan, I wanted to make up for mistakes of the past life, but didn’t expect that you’d lose your cultivation for me again in this life. I won’t have the chance to help you regain your strength. If there’s a next life, I’ll repay you then."

"I’m sorry, grandfather, I’m sorry, grandmother, Yue Fanchen..."

Han Yan’s mind spun wildly, realizing that compared to her past life, she had so many attachments, so much reluctance.

"No, I can’t die, it’s not easy to be reborn, not easy to come this far, I absolutely can’t die!" Han Yan bit her lip hard, and her mind, blurred by intense pain, became clear again.

An unbounded battle spirit began to burn within her heart, I can’t die, I absolutely can’t die!

In the Heart Meridian, an ancient longsword suddenly lit up, like a loyal guard, protecting within it.

Han Yan’s eyes brightened, how had she forgotten she had an ultimate life-saving Divine Artifact.

Because this ancient sword always hid within the Heart Meridian, it had not aided her cultivation or combat power much, and she had not experienced many real life-and-death crises, so the opportunity for the Heart Protecting Ancient Sword to display its might was rare, leading her often to forget its existence.

Now, with Divine Sense introspection, seeing the dazzling Divine Light on the ancient sword, Han Yan once again ignited hope.

"Boom" a loud noise, the rushing force was blocked outside the meridians, even repelled a few inches.

Though her meridians shattered more under the shock, Han Yan was overjoyed, there’s hope, there’s still hope!

"Boom... boom... boom..." Soon, the massive force launched another assault on the Heart Meridian, colliding repeatedly with the Heart Protecting Ancient Sword, like stormy waves crashing madly against rocks.

Han Yan’s body trembled violently, her face turning even paler!

The force was so powerful, so vast, even the Heart Protecting Ancient Sword gradually struggled to withstand it, the white light slowing and the sword shape starting to blur.

Under normal circumstances, she could inject Qi back into the Heart Meridian to assist the ancient sword, but now with Qi suppressed, she couldn’t help at all.

Once the sword’s own power was exhausted, she was still doomed to die.

"I didn’t expect the power contained in this Heavenly Destiny Star Plate to be so formidable. Alas, you dying means my doom too, I’ll have to go all out to help you." At this moment, Qianji’s resigned voice echoed in her mind.

As the words fell, a figure appeared within the Heart Meridian.

It was an old man with white hair and beard, his white robe seeming to dance in the wind. Though the figure was extremely vague, his features unclear, Han Yan could still feel his elegant and extraordinary aura.

"Qianji Qianbei!" Han Yan realized, this was the true form of Star Illusion Thousand Machine.

Star Illusion Thousand Machine said nothing, but grasped the Guardian Ancient Sword, slashing out one sword after another.

The ancient sword, which had dimmed and become illusory, shone brightly once more, condensed almost physically, every slash bringing a vast might capable of moving mountains and shattering seas.

The immense force like stormy waves gradually broke under the Sword Light, while Qianji’s already vague figure grew blurrier, its presence fading.

Han Yan’s eyes moistened, clearly star illusion Thousand Machine was burning his Divine Thought Power, forcibly condensing his Residual Soul into substance, thus able to wield the Heart Protecting Ancient Sword, and with each sword slash, his Divine Thought Power diminished.

Bear in mind, he was merely a Residual Soul, cultivating was many times harder than for normal people; it took him nearly a million years just to recover to this extent, such consumption, who knows how long it would take to make up.

Han Yan even thought, if this continued, he’d exhaust all his Divine Thought Power, utterly perish.

Finally! With the final loud boom, the force was completely shattered, while Qianji’s figure, like extinguished candles, lost all light and shadow.

"Senior!" Watching him disappear, Han Yan’s tears finally streamed down.

"Stop crying, hurry up and cultivate, I’m not dead yet!" Star Illusion Thousand Machine’s frustrated voice echoed again.

"Senior you’re okay!" Han Yan stopped her tears, saying with joy.

"Cultivate properly, seize the opportunity, I’m tired, might sleep for a while..." Star Illusion Thousand Machine’s weary voice grew lighter, more distant, finally completely disappearing.

Han Yan’s heart sank, though Qianji’s Divine Soul remained, had not vanished, his earlier forcible burning of Divine Thought Power certainly caused severe damage, this slumber might take a long time before awakening.

But Han Yan did not dwell in emotion or sadness, quickly wiped away tears, and gathered her spirit.

To save her, Star Illusion Thousand Machine nearly perished; if she missed the opportunity, how could she repay his painstaking effort.

The terrifying force had been completely shattered, scattered within her body, yet still vast.

Han Yan took a Dragon Blood Rejuvenation Pill, operated Qi to refine the Dan Power, sending it throughout. This Dragon Blood Rejuvenation Pill was also refined by Han Yan herself, differing only by a word from the Dragon Blood Revival Pill, the pill itself lagged considerably, but compared to other Healing Pills, it was still much stronger.

If it were other cultivators, meridians ruptured and Qi Sea shattered, Qi would disperse completely, even the best pills could hardly restore strength. However, the Mu Family’s Heavenly Heart Technique’s core is in the Heart Meridian, so Qi Sea destruction doesn’t matter, as long as injuries heal, strength remains unaffected. Of course with benefits come drawbacks, while others lose cultivation yet preserve life, Mu Family’s Disciples usually lose life alongside cultivation, with no compromise.
